\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Longhorn is an indeterminate<\/strong>, early-to-mid-season oxheart originating from the US. It produces stunning elongated hearts in a deep purple-pink color with olive-green shoulders. Averaging up to 10.5 oz (300 g), the fruits are practically seedless, incredibly meaty, and boast a rich, sweet, and complex flavor. Growers rave about its massive yields and resilience in greenhouse settings. Full summary \u2193<\/a><\/div>\n

Longhorn (USA).
\nTall vine, early season. The fruits are elongated hearts, purple-pink in color with olive shoulders, weighing up to 10.5 oz (300 g). They are dense and practically seedless. The flesh is purplish-red, sweet, and incredibly tasty. Grew it in the greenhouse on the southeast side, very productive. Thank you to Lyudmila (@Ovechka) for the seedling! \ud83c\udf3a\ud83c\udf3a\ud83c\udf3a<\/p>\n

Seeds came from Angelina. Here is her description:
\nSuper productive, elongated heart-shaped, purple tomato. Surprisingly juicy, meaty, almost seedless with a spicy flavor and complex aroma. Ripens in about 70 days. Tall vine, indet, very delicious variety!<\/p>\n

And everything she wrote is absolutely true. It was just out of this world. A tall vine loaded with trusses of massive tomatoes. I had to stake it up extra hard so it wouldn’t collapse. I accidentally snapped off a branch with these tomatoes on it. And these aren’t even the biggest ones. Extremely delicious, almost fruity.<\/p>\n

Excellent variety! I had read some reviews saying the flavor was lacking, but mine turned out delicious and highly productive.<\/p>\n

Mine was productive, but totally flavorless. I probably didn’t feed it well enough.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Mine are doing super well, they are still hanging right under the greenhouse roof even now, with zero signs of Late Blight. Absolute beauties.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Longhorn<\/p>\n

Really loved it! Tasty, which is the most important thing for me, and productive! It was a mid-season variety in my greenhouse.<\/p>\n

Planted it in 2021. Very delicious, turned out to be mid-early for me. I’ll definitely repeat it.<\/p>\n
